LAS CRUCES - Stephanie Bauman, of Let Them Eat Cake, left, and Lindsay Werkheiser, of Create a Cake, look over the fine details of Rosalba Aguirre's wild west-themed cake Saturday as they judge the entries at the Cakes for a Cause March of Dimes Cake Decorating Competition at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. Bauman said they were looking for execution, clean and neat work, the realism of the cake and how well they incorporated the theme. (Shari V. Hill/Sun-News)

A thriving Shanna Payne, 6, marvels over the intricate cake design created by Meagan Buck while browsing through contest entries alongside Cecilia Vigil on Saturday. Shanna was born 16 weeks prematurely and weighed a mere 1-pound, 9.2-ounces at birth. She is making strides toward walking on her own and is currently a first-grader at J.
